Tawny Owl Ian Watson For the second year running a pair of Barnacle Geese hatched three young at Scaling Dam (on 16th) although one died within a day or two. On the same day a summer-plumaged Black-necked Grebe was found on a private pond, it staying for well over a week and giving rise to the possibility of breeding in the near future. Five Spoonbills graced Saltholme on the afternoon of the longest day, one of which was a Dutch-ringed bird. They had been seen at Spurn, E Yorkshire on 20th and were over Northumberland on 22nd, then in Lothian, Scotland on 23rd. Great-reed Warbler Ian Forrest The action moved up a gear from 18th with the arrival of a Bluethroat at South Gare and three Temminck’s Stints on Saltholme, followed on 20th by the only Turtle Dove of the year at the Zinc Works bushes and then Cleveland’s sixth Great Reed Warbler singing and showing well at RSPB Saltholme from 22nd, into June. Little else was seen in May, although the now- annual visit to Phillips Jetty on 29th produced an impressive total of 10 occupied Shags nests, including one ringed as a chick in the nest on the Farne Islands, Northumberland in 2010. A late Whooper Swan was on Scaling Dam on 29th – 30th.

The number of Black Swans at Saltholme increased to two on the same day. 3 NATIONAL SEABIRD CENSUS – 2018/19 This is the second year of the National Seabird Census. The project has been organised by the Joint Nature Conservation Committee (JNCC), working alongside the Seabird Monitoring Programme (SMP). The urban nesting gulls were included in the survey this year - i.e. the Herring Gulls and Lesser Black- backed Gulls. Martin Blick took on the role last year as coordinator for Cleveland and it is thanks to him that this survey has now been completed, with some assistance from one or two club members. The 2019 survey took place on 29 May in near- perfect conditions. A total of 286 Kittiwake nests were counted, along with no fewer than 10 Shag nests. While the Kittiwakes prefer girders on the sheltered east-facing sides of the inset dock jetties, all the Shag nests were located beneath the jetties themselves, mostly on suspended cable trays.

Birtle (NNU) EDITORIAL It is perhaps fitting that, as the Cleveland Naturalist's Field Club enters its 111th year in 1991, we should be celebrating its long history of natural history recording through the re-establishment of the "Proceedings". In the early days of the club this publication formed the focus of information desemmination and was published continuously from 1881 until 1932. Despite the enormous changes in land use which have occurred in the last 60 years, and indeed the change in geographical area brought about by the fairly recent formation of Cleveland County, many of the old records published in the Proceedings still hold true and even those species which have disappeared or contracted in range are of value in providing useful base line data for modern day surveys.

  • Minerals and Waste Core Strategy
    Tees Valley Joint Minerals and Waste Development Plan Documents In association with Core Strategy DPD Adopted September 2011 27333-r22.indd 1 08/11/2010 14:55:36 i ii Foreword The Tees Valley Minerals and Waste Development Plan Documents (DPDs) - prepared jointly by the boroughs of Darlington, Hartlepool, Middlesbrough, Redcar and Cleveland and Stockton-on-Tees - bring together the planning issues which arise from these two subjects within the sub-region. Two DPDs have been prepared. This Minerals and Waste Core Strategy contains the long-term spatial vision and the strategic policies needed to achieve the key objectives for minerals and waste developments in the Tees Valley. The separate Policies and Sites DPD, which conforms with it, identifies specific sites for minerals and waste development and sets out policies which will be used to assess minerals and waste planning applications. The DPDs form part of the local development framework and development plan for each Borough. They cover all of the five Boroughs except for the part within Redcar and Cleveland that lies within the North York Moors National Park. (Minerals and waste policies for that area are included in the national park’s own local development framework.) The DPDs were prepared during a lengthy process of consultation. This allowed anyone with an interest in minerals and waste in the Tees Valley the opportunity to be involved. An Inspector appointed by the Secretary of State carried out an Examination into the DPDs in early 2011. He concluded that they had been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 and were sound.

One story about Skinningrove’s past that is still See their websites for information about this recounted is that of the “sea-man” or merman who ambitious project to build a working scale model of allegedly visited in about 1530. Writing in the early Loftus mine, the internal railway system and part of 17th century, William Camden states “Upon the shore, the zig zag connection to the main line. Skengrave, a small village, thrives by the great variety of fish which it takes; where it is reported that, seventy years ago, they caught a sea-man, who lived upon raw fish for some days, but at last, taking his opportunity, he made his escape into his own element. When the winds are laid and the sea is calm… a hideous groaning is oftentimes heard in these parts on a sudden, and then the fishermen are afraid to go to sea.” Another account claims that during his stay “fayre maidens were welcomest guests to his harbour, whome he woulde beholde with a very earnest countenaynce, as if his phlegmatic breast had been touched with the sparke of love.” (J.W. Ord 1846) Skinningrove Station above the village on the Loftus to Middlesbrough line. It opened in 1875 and closed in 1958. Skinningrove in 1846 The following description is taken from “The History and Antiquities of Cleveland” by John Walker Ord, published in 1846.

  • Tees Valley Joint Minerals and Waste Development Plan Documents
    Draft Only i APPENDIX 2(i) Tees Valley Joint Minerals and Waste Development Plan Documents Core Strategy Publication Document August 2009 Draft Only ii Draft Only iii Foreword The preparation of Joint Minerals and Waste Development Plan Documents (DPDs) for Darlington, Hartlepool, Middlesbrough, Redcar and Cleveland and Stockton-on-Tees Boroughs presents an important opportunity to understand and deal with the cross boundary issues which arise from these two subjects in the Tees Valley. Two DPDs are being prepared. This Core Strategy contains the long-term spatial vision and the strategic policies needed to achieve the key objectives for minerals and waste developments in the Tees Valley. The Policies and Sites document will, in conformity with this Core Strategy, identify specific sites for future minerals and waste development and provide a limited range of policies which will be used to assess minerals and waste planning applications. The DPDs will form part of the Local Development Framework for each Borough, which together with the Regional Spatial Strategy for North East England will form the Development Plan for the area. The DPDs cover all of the land within the five Boroughs except for the part within Redcar & Cleveland Borough that also falls within the North York Moors National Park. The Publication Document represents the third stage of the preparation process. The first stage, in May 2007, was the production of an Issues and Options Report, where the issues affecting minerals and waste development in the Tees Valley were identified and consultees and the general public were asked to identify which of the options presented were the most appropriate for dealing with the issues.

The Authority’s Monitoring Report (AMR) is part of the Redcar & Cleveland Local Development Plan (LDP). Its key purpose is to assess the progress made in preparing the LDP, the effectiveness of LDP policies and to make any recommendations on where policy changes should be made. This AMR covers the period 1 April 2017 to 31 March 2018, and also includes anything significant which has happened since this monitoring period. 1.2 Why do we need to monitor? Monitoring is a vital process of plan and policy making. It reports on what is happening now and what may happen in the future. These trends are assessed against existing policies and targets to determine whether or not current policies are performing as expected, ensuring that the LDP continues to contribute to the attractiveness and functionality of Redcar and Cleveland as a place to live, work, invest and visit. Up until now, the AMR has monitored trends to assess the performance of the policies within the Local Development Framework (LDF), which is made up of the Core Strategy Development Plan Document (DPD) and Development Policies DPD and the Saved Policies of the 1999 Local Plan.
